Downing-Frye has added 200 agents the last two years, and 580 agents currently work for the 100 percent commission company, making it the largest real estate company in Naples.

Despite its size, it feels like a small family company, Hughes said. "Every month the company throws a social event for the agents" he said. "We've had golf tournaments, scavenger hunts, comedy nights, happy hours, trips to the dog track and numerous other events. Our social events are open to employees, agents, family and friends. I learned a long time ago that agents making money and having fun would probably stay with the company."

The retention and feeling of family is no doubt one of the reasons readers of the Naples Daily News cast enough votes to make Downing-Frye the winner of the Major Category Award for Real Estate in the Southwest Florida Choice Awards for the fifth year in a row. It was also the fifth year in a row the company won the Champion Award for the Best Real Estate Office.

Downing-Frye Realty is very active in the community, contributing to Habitat of Humanity and numerous other organizations.
